An interesting and reasonably balanced piece.
I learned a few new things about the fediverse, including a Canadian angle on the creation of the ActivityPub protocol.

It's good to see the fediverse getting mentioned by a mainstream news org but it is a little annoying it's through the context of threads, haha. It is what it is, I suppose.

I guess one of the good things with Threads is it raises awareness of these other platforms for people to potentially check out

The comments on that site are something else. I don't know what I expected, but it doesn't seem like many actually read the article

Most bots don't.
This is def the best comment, though:

I think Threads and the Anti-Meta Fedipact can coexist within the space of the Fediverae. While some existing Lemmy and Mastodon users might flock to Threads or Meta-compatible server, others will go the other way around, from Threads or just interest in Threads to an anti-Meta server.

I think it's great that I don't have to explain Lemmy to the normies. It's like a less corporatey Threads. Oh, OK, cool. Done.

It's honestly very cool to see this on CBC.
